The idea is you can get it here when it's not be available somewhere else.

Convenience is the marketing hook for Family Car and Truck Rental which not only rents cars, trucks, vans, minivans, moving units, but has a Bobcat compact track loader available along with a log-splitter.

The business is owned by Keith and Mary Yerkey and has its origins in a 56-unit, two building storage lot (Mary's Storage Center) in the 13000 block of Benton Road, Mary explained.

They opened that in 2006 and, she explained, "There were requests for rental trucks all the time that we didn't have. People using storage were looking for trucks ... and utility trailers and we decided later to get into cars."

Yerkey added, "My husband is very ambitious."

He drives a truck and he doesn't like sitting around, Yerkey said, explaining that, "If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be doing this."

She added, "He's always looking for something."

Family Car and Truck Rentals is open on weekdays and available evenings and weekends to serve the Salem, Alliance, Columbiana, Lisbon, Beloit, Sebring, Minerva, Boardman, Youngstown and Canfield areas.
